Nugent: Meeting with Secret Service “adorable”

Ted Nugent had what he called an “adorable” meeting with U.S. Secret Service agents after the “Motor City Madman” made what sounded like threatening remarks toward President Obama at last month’s National Rifle Assn. convention.

“They said, ‘Hey Ted, we have time to meet with ya, somebody said you threatened somebody’,” Nugent added. “I said, ‘Bring it on.’ I feel sorry for liberals who can be that brain dead as to take a clear statement of fear on my part and turn it into a threat about somebody else.”

It wasn’t all so polite down at the Madman’s Texas ranch. He did let fly with an F bomb or two.

Upset with a suggestion that he wasn’t moderate enough to help Romney.

CBS described it this way:

We have no idea where that unexpected outburst came from. The second part of it directed to a female CBS News producer who was off-camera.

Nugent’s wife told him after the interview ended that Nugent owed an apology to the producer. And Nugent did. He also called (reporter Jeff) Glor Thursday and said that, after the interview, he was rushed to the emergency room and had a kidney stone removed. So, that’s what Nugent said may have contributed to his high level of energy.

During a rant to NRA members, Nugent said, “If Barack Obama becomes the president in November, again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year.”

A few moments later, he took a “Braveheart” line toward this fall’s election, saying, “We need to ride into that battlefield and chop their heads off in November.”

Nugent is known for pungent commentary. He told then-candidate Obama to “suck on my machine gun” during the 2008 campaign, and recently described Democratic National Committee chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz as a “subhuman punk.”

Nugent was in the news last week when he pleaded guilty to illegally shooting a black bear in Alaska.
